Turenko and Bernardo: The subtitle may only be:  - I Am Your Father!

Turenko, a friend here from Brazil, did something that not every father has the patience and courage to do: he simply conceived and set up a Star Wars Theme Party for his son Bernardo!

Turenko, um amigo aqui mesmo do Brasil, fez algo que não é todo pai que tem paciência e ânimo para fazer: ele simplesmente idealizou sozinho e montou uma Festa Temática Star Wars para seu filho Bernardo!

It took six months of preparation, trial and error in fitting the helmets of the Stormtroopers (44 in total, with an exclusive model in pink for Bernardo's little sister!)

Foram seis meses de preparação, tentativas e erros na montagem dos capacetes dos Stormtroopers (44 no total, contando com um exclusivo modelo na cor rosa para a irmãzinha do Bernardo!)

I, as a father of two little girls, I think inspiring and a testament of love, which is not quantified in money, but in the effort of a father to make his son had an unforgettable party! I helped my daughters with more elaborate homeworks, making costumes, and I can say it is a rewarding job, but very tiring. Imagine then build 40 Stormtroopers helmets with Lightsabers in scale 1/1? How many sleepless nights? As I said in the title of this post: 44 Stormtrooper helmets, meters and meters of EVA Foam, but a child very, very happy indeed! You Rock, Turenko!

Eu, como pai de duas pequenas garotas, acho inspirador e uma prova de amor, que não se quantifica em dinheiro, mas sim no esforço de um pai para fazer com que seu filho tivesse uma festa inesquecível! Eu já ajudei minha filhas com trabalhos escolares mais elaborados, fazendo fantasias, e posso dizer que é um trabalho recompensador, mas muito cansativo. Imagine então construir 40 capacetes de Stormtroopers em escala 1/1 com Sabres de Luz, etc? Quantas noites em claro? Como eu disse no título deste post: Foram 44 capacetes de Stormtroopers, metros e metros de espuma de EVA e no final você tem uma criança muito, mas muito feliz mesmo! Valeu, Turenko!

    4. Hello Ricardo,

      Unfortunately I will not be here on these dates, but I appreciate the kindness of your words.

      Please do not worry about the helmet, just knowing your "adventure" to make your child happy, it is very rewarding.

      A big hug and all the best things to you and all yours.

      Mauther
